Accepted in the beloved


Ephesians 1:5-7 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. 

A lot of people can’t get over the reality of the rejection of their parents,  of the rejection of how they grew up, when it comes to the rejection of people we must understand the reality of the cross and the finished work of Jesus.

I am accepted in the Beloved and no rejection from anybody parent’s, coworker’s, spouses ….. anybody!  Nobody can reject me because they did not give me what I have and that is acceptance I have been accepted in the Beloved.  Todd White

To me this is the mind of Christ being accepted in the Beloved.   Being the missionary not just overseas but in your backyard, in your own hometown, because that's who Christ called us to be.  He has called us to minister to anybody we come in contact with  anywhere anytime.

Romans 12 1-2 Therefore I urge you Brothers in view of God's mercy, to offer your body as a Living Sacrifice holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.


1 Cor 2:16 There is no other basis to teach from but to echo the mind of Christ; he is the Master mind personified within us!

I am the righteousness of Him!

It is not about the scripture that you quote but it's about becoming the very word that you know.  It's so easy to quote scripture,

The scripture that you quote to that one person........ are you living by that very scripture that you quote?

 

I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in You, Lord
I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in You, Lord
I will rejoice in the simple gospel
I will rejoice in You, Lord
